Former Raider Pat Lee dons No. 27 for Lions

ALLEN PARK — Another week, another cornerback brought in to beef up the Detroit Lions secondary.

This week it’s Pat Lee who was cut by the Oakland Raiders on Saturday and claimed off waivers by the Lions on Tuesday.

Wearing No. 27, Lee had his first practice in Detroit on Wednesday.

“Pat has good experience in the League. He’s got good size. He’s another guy that’s got some multi-dimension stuff, and it’s very rare that those guys become available,’’ Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. “When he did become available and he had starting experience at Oakland this year.’’

Lee, who also plays on special teams, wouldn’t bad-mouth the Raiders or the Green Bay Packers who let him go after last season. The Packers had drafted him in 2008.

However, he might be of some help in the Lions game-planning for Sunday’s game against Green Bay.

“I’ll be talking to these guys,’’ said Lee who wears No. 27.

Trade secrets?“I’ll be talking to these guys,’’ he repeated.

Lee grew up in Miami and knows Stephen Tulloch and Kevin Smith who he played against in high school.

Even though Wednesday was his first practice he said he found an immediate comfort level.

“It’s very, very home-oriented. All the guys are cool,’’ Lee said. “I felt like Ii fit right in.’’

Florence readyThe Lions could get more cornerback help from Drayton Florence who is eligible to play in Sunday’s game after coming off the short-term physically unable to perform list.

The 1-0-year veteran, who is 6-foot and 193 pounds, broke his arm in Week 2 against the 49ers.

“He’s been a good player for a long time. He’s a veteran player, has experience, he has toughness, he’s got size,’’ Schwartz said. “We’ve missed him these last eight weeks.”

If the Lions are in a pinch at safety due to injuries, Florence could help out there too.

“He has size and we have used guys like that in the past. We’ll just see where our corner situation is with Chris Houston in particular and go forward from there,’’ Schwartz said. “But he is multi-dimensional. He can play inside, he can play outside. He does have a lot of experience.”

When the Lions activate Florence, they’ll have to make room on the roster by releasing another player.

Add a sack to Suh’s totalNdamukong Suh has been credited with a sack (a 7-yard loss) from Sunday’s game after a review by the Elias Sports Bureau.

At 6:57 remaining in the third quarter, a 7-yard loss by Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder was originally rules a rush and later determined to be a pass play.

Suh also had one tackle in the game. He now has 4.5 sacks this season which tops his last season total of four.

Suh usually talks to the media on Wednesdays but declined.

Ins and outsSeven of the Lions didn’t participate in practice Wednesday.
